When should the publisher of a Commercially Available (in-print) book inform an author about the publisher’s display use elections for the book?
Under the Author Publisher Procedures, which are Attachment A to the settlement agreement, in-print books will only be displayed if both the publisher and the author of the book authorize such display. Under those Procedures, the publisher must first inform the author of any display uses it wishes to authorize and the author has 30 days to state if he or she disagrees with the publisher’s wishes. In the case of such a disagreement, the only display uses permitted will be those authorized by both the publisher and the author.
